Custom Sunroom and Conservatory Design Considerations

As Spring approaches, it's time to start thinking about elevating your entertainment area. A clean and luxuriously designed LivingSpace Sunroom would be a perfect addition to your Northern Virginia home. We offer a beautiful selection of sunrooms and conservatories to fit your lifestyle and your budget.

Where should you locate your new Sunroom?

Deciding the optimum location for your room is the first critical step when planning a glass or screen addition. In northern climes, a southern exposure is best because it will receive the most light each day. In the South, however, a southern exposure means additional cooling will be necessary, which could be costly. Low-e glass can bring those costs in line however by providing insulation properties built into the glass itself.

An eastern exposure will ease cooling needs by providing sun in the morning and shade the rest of the day — not so great for after work. A western orientation, on the other hand, will expose you to harsh afternoon sun that will need to be shaded. There are also glass solutions, including tinting, that can help minimize these effects as well.

A northern exposure will provide lower levels of light and partial shade most of the day. This can work fine in our Virginia climate, however, where it may eliminate the need for window treatments or additional cooling in the summer months.
